My remote is killing my batteries after a day. Is there any way to use Bluetooth without the remote? If not, is there a way to buy just the remote?

I don't use the remote. If you have the directions it tells you how to pair dying the button on the side.

I think you have to select the bluetooth input via the remote before you can connect. The input don't auto-switch.

Yes I had the same issue - It's been a while but I believe I found that the "sticker" cover on the remote is upside down. once I pulled it off and turned it the remote worked fine. Now it's horrible on battery life but that's a separate issue. My daughter didn't like it anyway so I have one that was used like twice and now sits in her closet.

sorry i didn't understand yourquestion i guess, looks like you will have to buy a new set, i looked for just a battery for the remote myself and never did find one or just the remote, i finally bought a new set.

I am using the RF remote - it simply will not link after several attempts. Blue tooth to my cell and other devices works fine. Also the wired remote work fine. So any helpful hints? Note I have opened the wireless RF remote and there seems to be no power source (battery) or place for a battery! Please help.

Ensure bluetooth is set to on. You do this on your remote with the bluetooth power button.

If you are using the batteries that came with the remote, yes, you do need to change the batteries. The same happened to me.

If you are asking if you can bypass the Bluetooth remote connection the answer is yes. Simply turn off the Bluetooth on your device or set to manual

No problem. I was wondering the same things when I bought mine, but I got it at such a low price I risked it. It really is an awesome speaker system. Dont let the reviews about needing the remote scare you. If you loose the remote, you just control it from your phone.

Dale, Mine worked fine out of the box. I would like to suggest that the battery in the remote might need changing. Other than that, the only thing that is possible is turn it off, unplug everything to let it reset and plug it back in. If this doesn't get it something is busted and the unit has a decent warranty.

I purchased mine new, and it came with the battery. There is a cover on the back that can be unscrewed with a thumbnail or coin to check the battery. My remote did not need to be paired with the main unit. Good luck.

I am not sure. I would contact boss. I always Bluetooth everything and rarely use the REmote.

As well? This has no Bluetooth capability. The remote is IR (line of sight, essentially).

Only way I know how to turn it off is with the remote it comes with. I have had lots of trouble with the blue tooth connection so haven't used their app much. Maybe you can turn it off via the app

I bought the clarion remote but to be honest with you I never use it. I keep a 64 gn ipod with a life proof case on it and connect via Bluetooth. It works so much better than the remote for obvious reasons. This is the only way to jam out I by the water. The Bluetooth range is excellent. Try using a waterproofed Bluetooth device bustard of spending a $100 on a remote you will cast aside once you connect.

No remote control. The ipad (that what we use) controls the on/off and volume. U have to push a button to pair the bluetooth.u

I have been using mine since for over 4 months and the batteries are still working. I would characterize my usage as minimal to very minimal. I do not use it as my main remote.
